Thanks for the response. I know what you mean, but unless the PC card is in the card slot, that option does not appear in the menu anyway. I have just plain "ethernet" selected.
One other clue, and, being a newbie on OSX I didn't know to check it, is in the Network Preference panel, in "Show -> Network Status" It tells me that the cable for Built-in Ethernet is not plugged in". I suppose that, seeing that it IS plugged in, means that it is not receiving a signal from the 5300 for some reason. Now, I did check the crossover cable between the Pismo and a TiBook and it functioned normally.
Are you 100% positive that it's a crossover cable? Some TiBooks do have autosensing ethernet ports, so it would work between the Pismo and the TiBook, but not with the 5300.
It's an added expense, but a hub or switch connecting the two will probably help. Older Macs wouldn't recognize the ethernet port unless it was connected to a 'live' port; voltage a crossover cable does not provide, but that a hub or switch does.
If it isn't a non-crossover cable, I'll wager that's the issue.
